    All of the people who can afford it live in cities that have perfectly good internet.

    I think this generalization is far from valid

    • You're assuming US prices, Starlink can go cheaper and they have shown they will do market specific pricing
    • South Africa is one example where there are plenty of areas outside big cities where people could afford it
    • Starlink doesn't have to be ordered by individuals. Smaller rural communities could have a shared terminal

    This is assuming it's not cheaper/faster to just use mobile service, which has had great adoption in Africa and will probably be true in a lot of areas as you noted. Still, there's a ton of people in Africa and a lot of area to cover. I think there is a good market there for Starlink

    Africa will be a huge market for Starlink I think.

    Regarding the fee, probably the seller concerning the sale of the terminal. But Starlink would have to provide a contract, so they could be liable as well. Depends who the contract party is - in this case I suppose it is an abroad address. That should be easy to fix for Starlink by geoblocking for now

    I guess the reason it works at all right now is due to RV type mobile contracts

    After a two-month analysis, the hackers revealed that Newag intentionally interfered with the software of the trains, causing forced malfunctions to secure lucrative contracts for their repair. They immobilized trains by implementing logic that prevented them from moving if stationary for more than ten days. Additionally, some trains had a “safeguard” preventing them from moving from specific locations in Poland, including service halls of competing companies.

    I hope they get sued into bankruptcy, this type of behavior is despicable

    I once collaborated with an exceptionally talented programmer who seemed so engrossed in his addiction that he would invent challenges where there were none, presumably to make his work more engaging and bearable. However, this often led to incomplete projects because once the stimulating aspects were finished, he struggled to find the motivation to continue. Clearly, this behavior was extreme and detrimental.

    I think a lot of devs can relate to that

    "In the design plans for the system, the word 'main' was used inconsistently between the device that sends the electric signals, and the device that receives the signals," NASA said in a written statement. "On the signal side, 'main' meant the main parachute. In contrast, on the receiver side 'main' was used as a reference to a pyrotechnic that fires to release the parachute canister cover and deploy the drogue.

    "Engineers connected the two mains, causing the parachute deployment actions to occur out of order," NASA said.

    Not really blowing off, they just don't have enough gravity to keep it in

    sub-Neptunes are susceptible to atmospheric loss. The exoplanets can lose their atmospheres if they don’t have enough mass, and therefore enough gravitational force, to keep their atmospheres. If this theory of atmospheric loss is true and the sub-Neptunes don’t have enough mass to hold on to their atmospheres, they’d likely shrink to the size of super-Earths, explaining the size gap between super-Earths and sub-Neptunes.

    [Request] Sidebar search should search own subscriptions first

    Currently it seems the sidebar search lists search results from the fediverse, not from my subscribed communities. If I want to go to a specific community, I go to the sidebar. With a lot of subscribed communities you can't favorite all of them, nor do you want to search the entire sidebar list manually Example: I am subscribed to !space@kbin.social and !space@lemmy.world. When I search space, neither show up. Instead a bunch of smaller communities are listed, like !space@lemmy.ml, or occult (wtf?).

    Navigate to community on another instance?

    Maybe I've just not figured it out, but it's there a way to navigate the subs on a different instance without switching accounts? Like going directly to linux@programming.dev? Example, I'm on lemmy.ca but I want to subscribe to /c/linux on programming.dev. I'm struggling hard to navigate to this community, as it's not turning up in search either. Edit: I found it on search, but it's made worse by the fact that search is not showing the instance of the communities, so you just end up with a bunch of communities and a subscriber count based on your local instance, which means pretty much nothing

    This is quite unintuitive nowadays, as most interfaces don't require manual saving, especially on mobile. I've caught myself more than once forgetting to save and having to redo settings changes. I think what makes it worse is that the settings button doesn't stand out on dark mode, or change much when there are unsaved changes
